I'm not sure what is usual, when my blood was tested 1 year post-removal, my levels were near/just above upper limits of normal. They haven't been retested because I had no more symptoms. Are you still having problems?

My biggest issue is nightly muscle spasms in the thigh area. Other issues are stiffness and soreness. I’m back at PT per your advice working at strengthening and flexibility.
